There is no fixed standard for the agency fee for imported stone. The common charging methods are by a fixed amount and by a percentage of the goods value.
If it is charged by a percentage of the goods value, it is usually about 1% - 5%. The specific percentage depends on factors such as the value of the goods, the difficulty of operation, and the trade terms. For example, if the variety of stone is relatively special or the import procedures are more complicated, the agency fee may be higher.
If it is charged by a fixed amount, it is generally 2000 - 5000 yuan per ticket. This is mainly applicable to businesses with relatively simple operation processes and not high cargo values.
In addition to the agency fee, there may be some other fees, such as customs declaration fees, inspection application fees, transportation fees, and terminal miscellaneous fees. The customs declaration fee is generally 300 - 800 yuan per ticket. The inspection application fee is calculated according to the cargo value. The transportation fee and terminal miscellaneous fees depend on the specific transportation distance and terminal regulations. It is recommended that you consult a professional agency company like Zhongshitong. They will give you an accurate quotation according to your specific situation.

The agency fee percentage is related to the cargo value. The higher the cargo value, the lower the percentage may be. In my case, the cargo value was high, and it was charged at 1.5%.

In addition to the agency fee, if there is damage during transportation, there may be additional handling fees. You need to ask clearly in advance.

I heard that the agency fee for remote ports may be higher because the operation is more difficult. It still depends on the specific situation.

If the stone needs special inspection and quarantine, the agency fee will also increase because the procedures are more troublesome.

The charging differences among different agencies are a bit large. Ask several more and compare. Don't just look at the agency fee. The service quality is also important.
